Your tat looks like mine did when it got infected, my own fault i might add. Went mucking out horses the day after my tat was done, never covered it up properly………took quite a few weeks for the infection to clear but all is well now. I would certainly take Matthews advice, not much he doesn’t know about tattoos and…[Read more]

Ouch, that does look itchy. I hope the antibiotics work out. That’s too bad you had such a reaction. Keep us posted.

Rockysmom, Hi,

Yep this is a recent pic and yep the tat is peeling on a daily basis!

Well the update is as follows: Stopped using the hydrochloride cream as wasnt doing anything, got some Aqueus cream as advised from doctor and that wasnt making any difference either apart from temporarily keeping the skin supple. So have stopped putting creams on and just been keeping it clean. I have…[Read more]

Cheers for the advice and info, much appreciated. The tattoo only used black ink so fingers crossed the ink isnt too wild??!!!
Am just keeping clean and gently moisturising at present but have a feeling will have to get some antibiotics off the doc:(

Cheers:)

Thank you very much for your reply and advice, much appreciated;)

I have decided to stop using any creams on the tattoo other than Aqueous to moisturise for the time being and to simply wash in clean soapy water 3 times a day as you have advised. I shall see how I get on with that and if still no improvement I shall return once again to…[Read more]
